Frederic Malle is a perfume brand that uses both natural and synthetic raw materials to create their fragrances. The brand lists the ingredients of each product on the outer packaging, and customers can also request a complete list of ingredients for a specific product. Some of the raw materials used by Frederic Malle include:
-
Aldehydes: Organic compounds present in various natural materials, synthesized in the laboratory. Their strength imbues floral compositions with brightness, effervescence, and diffusion.
-
Amber: Extremely powerful chemical notes that include Karanal, Amber Xtreme, and Ambroxan among others. Different than the natural resins, these chemicals can build an accord. They are trail strengtheners and increase the power of diffusion.
-
Musk: Natural musk has been banned since the 1970s, so perfumers use other raw materials that mimic traditional musk, such as ambrette or synthetic raw materials.
-
Oakmoss: Used in the Chypre accord, which is based mostly on Oakmoss, Patchouli, Vetiver, Labdanum, a few floral notes, and Bergamot. This new accord inspired numerous new perfumes.
The brand offers a wide range of fragrances, including Promise by Dominique Ropion, which contains top notes of Pink Pepper, Rosemary Oil, and Apple Accord, middle notes of Bulgarian Rose Oil, Turkish Rose Absolute, and Clove Oil, and base notes of Patchouli Heart, Ambroxan, Labdanum, and Cypriol Heart. Cologne Indelebile by Dominique Ropion contains top notes of lemon, bergamot, and orange blossom, and base notes of white-musk. Monsieur by Bruno Jovanovic contains both natural and synthetic raw materials, including mandarine and mandarine aldehyde.
